Montana businesses that fall behind on sales tax remittances to the Montana Department of Revenue face aggressive enforcement — bank levies, license revocations, and personal liability. Sales tax collected from customers is held in trust for the state. Failing to remit is treated as misappropriation, not simple non-payment.
Sales Tax Debt Financing in Montana: What You Need to Know
When a Montana business collects sales tax from customers, those funds are held in trust for the Montana Department of Revenue. The state considers this money its own from the moment of collection. Delinquent remittances accrue 12% annual interest plus penalty assessments, and the Montana Department of Revenue can assess personal liability against responsible parties — just as the IRS does for 941 payroll tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Montana Department of Revenue assess personal liability for Montana sales tax debt?
Yes. Most states allow personal liability assessment against responsible parties for willfully unpaid sales tax — the same concept as the federal Trust Fund Recovery Penalty. In Montana, business owners, officers, and bookkeepers with financial authority can be personally assessed for unpaid sales tax their business collected but did not remit.
Can Tax Funds finance both IRS and Montana sales tax debt simultaneously?
Yes. Many Montana businesses owe both the IRS and the Montana Department of Revenue at the same time. Tax Funds can arrange financing to address both federal IRS debt and Montana sales tax debt — either in a single transaction or sequentially based on urgency.
What is the minimum tax debt for Montana Sales Tax Debt Financing?
Minimum $10,000 in business tax debt (IRS or Montana Department of Revenue). No maximum. Apply regardless of your situation.
